Online House Hunter: The UK’s health spots | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs
THIS will be of little consolation to my niece currently suffering from tonsillitis, but Wokingham is the healthiest place to live in the United Kingdom. She lives in this Berkshire town of which Wikipedia declares “the local accent could be described as a blend of traditional London Cockney, influenced by aspects of West Country pronunciation”. Really?
My source for the claim that it is healthiest borough in the UK comes from the latest Halifax Quality of Life survey which tells that 95.5 per cent are in good health. And the town comes third in the overall quality of life rankings, just behind Hart and Elmbridge (though Wokingham has been number one in the past).
It is probably unlikely that anyone is going to move to Wokingham just for their health but moving to, or staying in, large cities with easy access to major hospitals is a priority for those in poor health or those worried about their health as they get older. Rural living has its benefits but regular two or three-hour round trips for even basic medical procedures can be tiresome. And in this age of ’super hospitals’, rural can mean even large towns.
